Kalimba is the new name for Project Totem

Project Totem, the puzzle platformer from Max: Curse of the Brotherhood creator Press Play, has a new title and will launch for Xbox One on December 17 and PC in January.

Now titled 'Kalimba', the game sees players controlling animated totems on a quest to overthrow an evil shaman and reclaim the island of Kalimba for the Kalimbi people.

Kalimba features both single player and couch-based co-op, which creative director Asger Strandby says is "kind of a friendship tester – if you can play the game and high five more than you slap each other, you're probably ready to get married".

The game was born during the final development stages of Max: Curse of the Brotherhood by Asger Strandby and his brother Bo Strandby.
